The delicious details
Lars Amsterdam sits on the first floor of a waterfront hotel in the Houthavens, overlooking the IJ. Chef Lars Scharp draws on French foundations and Asian inflections, shaped by years as sous chef at two-starred Aan de Poel.
A 400 m² rooftop garden across from the restaurant supplies herbs, vegetables, and edible flowers that anchor the dedicated Green Menu. Menus rotate roughly every five weeks, tracking seasonal shifts.
Co-owner Floor Wiggers steers the dining room with warmth. The restaurant holds one Michelin star (since 2022), 15.5 from Gault&Millau, and four radishes from the We're Smart Green Guide.
